Reichsleiter Armband # 1809
Reichsleiter Armband # 1809
Hard to believe, but the only example of an armband ranking higher than this one, would be the simple party armband worn by Hitler himself. This armband would have been worn only by a Reichsleiter, position held by a very few, very notorious circle. Among the Reichsleiters, you would find at one time or another, Hess, Buch, Goebbels, Himmler, Ley, Roehm, Bormann, Schwarz, and others. This is a spectacular example of an impossible to find armband, due to the
exclusive nature of the position itself, and the fact that those that held it were considered responsible for the Third Reich. Highly desirable, with superb bullion wire work, this one has survived the decades in wonderful condition.
This example was taken off of the tunic by a veteran. RZM tag still intact, as shown.
